Anyone found a supplier with the new TMY in 4x5? I've found the 8x10 and 120 but no 4x5 yet. I would prefer to do my film testing with individual 4x5 sheets but I guess I could do it with 120 in a pinch.

Beware - I think the old stuff was different in 120.

I've mailed Kodak here in the UK, really to complain that a) why don't they do Tmax in 400 Readyloads and b) no dealer in the uk I can find has any idea when it will be available (some didn't even know there was a new version!)

On the Kodak website in the advertsing blurb it says: 'T Max 400 - where will it take you?'

Nowhere apparently..

No, it will take you to the store that has the "new" stuff. Now we just need to find that store...

Well, if any fellow LF photographer in the UK finds a source, please let me know!

I really wish there were more films available in ready/quick load. I am absolutely useless at loading darkslides.

I received an e-mail a few days ago from Jeff at Badger Graphics and he reports that they expect to receive the film sometime in Feb, this month now. So hopefully our wiat will not be long.

A related question: I just received a couple of 50 sheet boxes of 400T-Max with an expiration of 2010. There is a red label that is part of the packing that refers to "sharpest 400 film" and "new development times". I haven't bought film in quite awhile and am wondering if this is the newest 400T-Max or the previous iteration. The notch code is a single triangular notch.

Do you mind sharing your retail source with us?

Robert,

The film you have is TMY-2. There is a red label that says Sharpest Black & White 400 in English, and the same thing in French, German and Spanish.
